Hi.. perhaps someone can help me with this Debian problem?



Hi there,

I'm just having a problem trying to restore this backup. Please read on:

We have SCSI-2 tape here backing up daily. "mt status" gives the following..

newmi5:/mrtg-2.5.2# mt status
drive type = Generic SCSI-2 tape
drive status = 620756992
sense key error = 0
residue count = 0
file number = 0
block number = 5
Tape block size 0 bytes. Density code 0x25 (unknown).
Soft error count since last status=0
General status bits on (1010000):
 ONLINE IM_REP_EN
newmi5:/mrtg-2.5.2#

The backup script is as follows.

echo "Full incremental backup (`/bin/pwd`/$0)"
/bin/mt rewind
echo "tape rewound"
echo ""
/sbin/dump 0udsbf 61000 20480 126 /dev/nst0 /x2
echo ""
/sbin/dump 0udsbf 61000 20480 126 /dev/nst0 /
echo ""
date
echo "all dumps finished"
#/bin/mt offline
#echo "tape rewound and unloaded"
echo ""


Now, apparently it is backing up okay. However, when I go to do a
"restore -if /dev/nst0" i get the
following..

newmi5:/mrtg-2.5.2# restore -if /dev/nst0
Cannot find file dump list

Any ideas? All help is very much appreciated!
